Zaïda is a city in Tsabara, located near the extreme northwestern tip of the country in the province of Netanya. It lies on the eastern shore of the Eastern Aurean Strait opposite Montecara. The largest settlement on Netanya's northwestern coast, Zaïda is notable for its Euclean-majority population and its combination of Gaullican and Atudite cultures.

Zaïda is a popular destination for tourists and expatriates from southeastern Euclea. Eucleans are drawn to it as a Gaullophone-majority city with beaches, affordable homes, and large communities from their native countries.

The city is linked by ferries to Montecara and Emessa, to Precea and Chorto in Paretia, and to the Île du Safran.

Since the outbreak of the Tsabaran Civil War, it has been a focal point for refugees attempting to flee to Euclea.

Ethnic groups (2020 census)
Ethnicity Percentage Population
Gaullicans 49.43% 26,141
Atudites 34.08% 18,023

Zaïda is highly unusual in Tsabara and in Coius as a whole for being a majority-Euclean city. Gaullicans alone make up nearly half the population, which also includes thousands of Montecarans and Paretians. The largest non-Euclean group is the Atudites, who make up just over a third of the city's inhabitants.

The Euclean and Atudite communities are largely segregated, with neighborhoods rarely mixed to any significant degree. Each community maintainis its own hospital, schools, and cultural institutions.
